Corin shares her journey of falling in love with hiking. She leads us through her story of  going on day hikes, her first backpacking trip of the Art Loeb and how it led her to a 22 mile point to point hike through Washington's Enchantments in one day.


We chat about hiking in Pisgah National Forest, pushing beyond your comfort zone, hiking partnerships with your spouse/significant other, and how all that culminated in her day long adventure in Washington's Cascade Mountains earlier this Fall.
